For radio and television host and stand-up comedian Pandji Pragiwaksono, each item in his bag of gadgets has a purpose.
Pandji,
who co-owns Kolam Komik ' an online publisher of local comic books,
says that he uses two different smartphones to support his work.
'I'm
on a world tour for my stand-up act, which is titled 'Mesake Bangsaku
World Tour '-- mesake bangsaku is Javanese for 'my poor country'. One of
my smartphones does a great job in documenting my act,' Pandji said.
His road show, which began in April 2014, will end in the US in May, he adds.
'The
tour is crossing from Singapore to Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane,
London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Guangzhou and Beijing. The final country will
be the US, which will be in Los Angeles and San Francisco.'
Other
than for managing his stand-up gigs, Pandji says that he depends on his
gadgets to check on his business at kolamkomik.com.
iPhone 5S
For daily use, I feel more comfortable to use this phone compared to other brands that I have. Before the 5S, I had an iPhone 4. I bought the 5S about a year ago because the old one was broken. I'm a kind of person who won't buy more gadgets unless the ones that I have are broken.
I picked the 5S because its camera is great for snapshots. Overall, the iOS system is wonderful ' it doesn't lag and is very smooth. ITunes, iBook and iMovie are just great ' nothing can compare. You'll get a lot of fun while editing videos with iMovie.
MacBook Pro
My world tour is about to finish and now I'm editing videos of me doing stand-up. I'm going to make a documentary film from those videos. I'm using this MacBook Pro to edit the videos. I find that this gadget is lag-free, it doesn't crash easily and is user-friendly.
Sony Xperia Z3
This smartphone's camera is just awesome. Equipped with a 20-megapixel camera that supports 4K resolution, it allows you to connect it to a projector. What's so handy about this phone is that I can carry it around while I'm on my world tour ' it has becomes a perfect tool to record my acts.
I access Twitter, e-mail, WhatsApp and Vine through the 5S and the Z3. Nevertheless, as Kolam Komik has just launched an Android app, I mostly use this phone to check on the new app.
Iron Man Armor Power Bank
Physically, this power bank looks like a torso of Iron Man himself ' the ligh at the center of the tool will be on whenever its in use. It is one of the most important gadgets for me during my world tour.
